    About me

    Are you ready to transform your body and achieve peak athletic performance? As a seasoned bodybuilder and personal trainer, I specialize in muscle building, fat loss, and enhancing athletic performance. With real certifications and proven results, I can help you reach your fitness goals.

    Having earned championship titles in multiple bodybuilding categories, I possess in-depth knowledge of effective muscle targeting, building, and shaping techniques. I also have the nutritional expertise to help you significantly reduce body fat percentage.

    My journey began in Santa Monica, California, where I played baseball and football. Inspired by my son's involvement in football, I served as the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Santa Monica Vikings Youth Football program from 2007 to 2014.

    Physical activity is my passion, and I am dedicated to sharing the life-changing benefits it offers. Let me guide you to your best shape ever. Think abs at 50 are impossible? Think again! Contact me today and let's get started!
